Unleashed by Petco wags its tail for a new location on Colfax

Unleashed by Petco, a chain that's popping up all around the country, prides itself on being butt-sniffing friendly. "We make it a priority to be involved in the community that surrounds us," says Margaret Aareberg, general manager of the Unleashed by Petco that will open this weekend at 3615 East Colfax Avenue. "We are hoping to take part in the events that happen in our part of town, we would like to set up a table at City Park Jazz and hand out free goodies."

But first, to celebrate the store's grand opening, it will host festivities for pets and pet lovers alike the weekends of May 31-June 1, June 7-8 and June 14-15.

"We are planning on having many events that pet owners and their pets can attend together," says Aareberg, adding that Unleashed by Petco will give $3,000 "to an adoption partner and a community group to help continue their positive, fun pet efforts during our grand opening weekends."

The schedule for those three weekends:

Saturday, 5/31: 9 a.m. VIP Ribbon Cutting Celebration
